This is a prototype patch to drop the messing we do with __STRICT_ANSI__.
I just request _GNU_SOURCE which gives us lstat() and friends back. I
could do it requesting it bit by bit e.g. _SVID_SOURCE, _BSD_SOURCE,
_POSIX_SOURCE, but I don't really see the point.
It has been tested on Linux glibc-devel-2.1.3. I am sending it in the hope
that it can be tested on platforms I don't have access to, to see if it is
possible to drop the STRICT_ANSI thing. Please test it !
One thing, with the patch I get a message :
direct base `noncopyable' inaccessible in `FormError' due to ambiguity
for the classes inheriting noncopyable in frontends/xforms - why ?
thanks
john
